It also plays into the luxury tax. Frank is non-guaranted. Burke is dead money. At 3.3M you can trade him away while paying his full salary on another team (by sending cash with it), which still means it doesn´t count against our tax. If you waive him for a few months of Dragic, you carry the full tax burden. Therefore I think it was either Dragic or Frank.
Though like I said I believe the real reason is simply Dragic not wanting to sign with a non-contender.
